"Dual counter-rotating rollers instead of a single brush. ... They pick up more and you don't have to clean them out as often because hair doesn't wind around them as easily. ... We probably have to clean the rollers off once a week or so."
"Going to the Q8 with dual rollers has been a night and day difference"
"I've never had less hair in my house."

"No tangles in the rollers so far even with toy stuffing and string the dog destroys and long pet fur and my fiancee's long hair."

"Self-emptying. This takes us from having to empty the bin daily to changing the bag weekly."
"best vacuuming particularly if you pair it with an auto empty dock"
"The second one I got was self emptying so it can continue all by itself and I really appreciate it. I only have to empty the main basin once a week and that's it. Super convenient"

"It would clog up"
"Carpet not so much."
"the vacuum itself isnt enough to really suck stuff out of the carpet, more just pick up things on top. I treat it more like a broom than anything else"

"No rotating or vibrating mop ... You’d downgrade mopping if you switched"
"in both of them, the robot gets stuck and the worst thing is that it leaves the dirt that the mop has accumulated there, since being more adherent, it stays there and I have to clean them by hand."
"I regret not buying a robot with true mopping (I use Roborock Q8 with fake mopping). ... Yes 😂 I bought more mop attachments to see if that helps"

"The object avoidance is pretty horrendous."
"that sumbitch craves toy mice. ... Nothing can sate its bottomless appetite for cat toys. ... it refuses to avoid the cat toys."

"the self emptying vacuum feature can get loud"
I have a Q8 Max+ (newer model) but do not rate is mopping capabilities at all
r/homeassistant • What's your TOP PICK for the best Robot Vacuum Mop today? ->I just got a roborock q8 and it's awesome. I'm in Canada. Pretty simple to set up too.
r/RobotVacuums • Bot recommendations for a small apartment? (Dog hair) ->I love my roborock. Its a q8 max, had it 6 months with a golden retriever and 2 cats and has been working really good. I've never had less hair in my house. Its my first robot vacuum tho so not much to compare it to. I chose roborock both because it was on sale and people online said the mapping is really easy (which it seems to be).
r/RobotVacuums • Dreame is a scam ->Thirding roborock. Love mine. I splurged on the self emptying model….totally worth it.
r/CleaningTips • Which robot vacuum is really GOOD at handling PET HAIR? ->Get one with self mob cleaning, I regret not buying a robot with true mopping (I use Roborock Q8 with fake mopping). I looked at youtube reviews and it looked like most top brands have stepped up their game due to competition and for your dollar range performance wise there weren't much difference. They all looked good.
r/homeassistant • Mopping Robot Vacuum Recommendation? ->I’d argue there’s no such thing as buy it for life vacuum robot because it’s tech. However, we did recently get a Roborock Q8 Max to replace our Neato Botvac D3 and have been very happy so far. It’s well within your budget and has been great for our 1 dog 1 cat household.
r/BuyItForLife • Pet owners, what's the best robot vacuum for TONS OF PET HAIR that's worked really well? ->I have the Roborock 8 and it's vacuuming since two years two times a day and it still works like a charm
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->I replace regularly the filter and once the brush, but these are maintenance parts
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->I changed it two times right now
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->I just replaced them, because I got them for free buying the vacuum ^^ Now I just wash it with water. I don't notice any performance loss. I just do it to take care of it.
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->About once a month
r/BuyItForLife • Best Robot Vacuum Cleaner for Home in 2025 ->That's the really, really old ones. They're not great. The new ones map the environment, and do a proper pass of all areas. Like the Roborock Q8 or Q5 are great.
r/IsItBullshit • IsItBullshit: are robot vacuums actually good and worth the money? ->If you want the best performance for your four dogs, the Roborock Q8 Max+ is the way to go. It'll save you time and keep your floors looking great between your regular vacuuming session.
r/RobotVacuums • Best Robot Vacuum for Dog Hair? 4 dogs!! ->i kinda like how my q8 max+ looks https://preview.redd.it/2x3fo6dphgjf1.jpeg?width=516&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8ff7bf7d5ef5862926ab0c2f6c09f5b5771a14
r/RobotVacuums • Best designed robot vacuums, rank em | and why don't manufacturers care about the design? ->i thought it looked nice and it's compact too
r/RobotVacuums • Best designed robot vacuums, rank em | and why don't manufacturers care about the design? ->it detects walls and unmovable things pretty well, the obstacle avoidance is for stuff like cables i have one of the cheaper models (q8 max+) and ir avoids most objects unless they are transparent or very small
r/RobotVacuums • Are any of these consumer robvacs suitable for commercial use? ->mine doesnt do an outstanding job with obstacles as it still sucks up cords and stuff but the more expensive ones have all sorts of crossing lasers, headlights and cameras to detect them
r/RobotVacuums • Are any of these consumer robvacs suitable for commercial use? ->i have the q8 max+ basically same cleaning system and it's amazing for cat hair
r/VacuumCleaners • Researching a robot vacuum ->I've got a Roborock Q8 max that I picked up for around $200 last year and I really like how well it deals with my cat's fur. However, it sucks for mopping (basically just a Swiffer wet jet). I'm thinking about picking up one of the ones with spinning mops (probably the CurvX) on a Black Friday deal.
